I know there's light out there, but
I seem to live in darkness here.
I drown myself in gloom,
And do I even care?
Leave the truth on the shelf:
I'm lying to myself.
I say that I'm O.K.
Believe it if you dare.
When you read my mind,
You know my thoughts and then
You can tell just anyone you please.
Nothing is the same,
Once people know my shame,
I'll go into hiding.
What if I run away?
I'll leave behind the life that I know, but
There's no safe place to go.
They'll find me now wherever I am.
They'll follow me there, and
They'll follow me back (again).
Where can I go?
Where can I go?
My friends want to protect me,
And to keep me from all consequence.
They say it's safe in here,
But do I even care?
I want to go outside.
I want to see the world.
I want to live my life,
Though I know life's not fair.
When the day is done,
I need to rest, but now
I can see how much is left to do.
No one helps me out
With my unending task.
I'll never be finished.
What if I run away?
I'll leave behind the life that I know, but
There's no safe place to go.
They'll find me now wherever I am.
They'll follow me there, and
They'll follow me back (again).
Where can I go?
Where can I go?
In the light of day,
What can I say? I can't
Ever seem to make up a good excuse.
All I do is lie,
To justify myself.
And no one believes me!
What if I run away?
I'll leave behind the life that I know, but
There's no safe place to go.
They'll find me now wherever I am.
They'll follow me there, and
They'll follow me back (again).
Where can I go?
Where can I go?
